>Also, consider security guards are paid at a lower rate, why can't we help boost their salary
sworn officer vs. security guard is like a queen vs. pawn.
>It seems like they are just concerned with unauthorized access rather than defeating crime rate.
something like 10 years ago (when i was commuting to that Sun's (back then) campus) there were police presence at that station. Not that it was affecting much, at least at the outsider look it is the same now as it has been through all these years. Given the generational shift - FB employees are supposedly like to walk and ride bikes and live nearby with the campus - the police presence seems like another perk FB is trying to buy for their employees as this place - East Palo Alto - is supposedly looking scary to young people coming from good families in good neighborhoods :)
Well I don't argue that security guards are obviously 10x less trained than a cop. But you have to agree that if they want to provide security to employees, they need to hire a GOOD security guard agency. I have never been to FB and I don't know how well trained the security guards at FB are, but these people are really your first responder when a threat occurs on campus, immediately. They are the one going to do the gatekeeping for FB. If they could hire a better security agency, they should. Right now I feel like FB is trying to be cost-effective; instead of spending $1-3M for better security guards, they are just throwing $1M out there to get 3-4 cops.
